Hardback. Zustand: Good. From critically acclaimed author Jaime Manrique, comes a breathtaking, sweeping novel based on the life of one of the most controversial women in the history of the Americas. Before there was an Eva Peron, Collette, or Mata Hari, there was Manuela Saenz. Arguably one of the most fascinatingly sexy women in all history, she single-handedly helped to secure independence for much of South America from Spain. Based on actual events, Our Lives Are The Rivers tells the life story of a woman who was willing to risk it all for her country -and her lover-and in whose legacy lies the history of an entire continent. The novel begins in 1822, when Simon Bolivar, known as The Liberator, marches into Quito, victoriously leading an army that had overthrown its Spanish rulers, winning independence for a giant swath of land in what is now South America. As he makes his way through the cheering crowds on the streets, his eye catches sight of Manuel Saenz, a beautiful young woman of means who wore on her chest the gold medal of Knight of the Sun-the first honor given by the new republic to any woman in the New World. The attraction between them was so strong, they became lovers that same night, and remained together for the following 8 years, the last of Bolivar's life. Told from the point of view of Manuela Saenz, as well as that of her two loyal slaves, Our Lives Are The Rivers is a novel of intoxicating love, passion, and adventure, with dynamic continent struggling for its own identity as its backdrop.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Cervantes Street is a masterpiece of historical fiction that recreates the epic life of Miguel de Cervantes. During his youth, the impoverished poet was forced into exile after nearly killing a man in a duel; later he was wounded in battle and sold into slavery when his ship was captured by pirates. Yet somehow Cervantes escaped and settled in Spain, where he wrote Don Quixote. Having taken the bare bones from Cervantes's background, Jaime Manrique breathes vivid life into Cervantes in this dramatic and suspenseful interpretation of one of modern literature's most brilliant writers.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ambientado en la majestuosa geografía de los Andes, este libro apasionante cuenta la vida de Manuela Sáenz, quien ganó su lugar en la historia como el gran amor del libertador de Suramérica, Simón Bolívar.La vida de Manuela Sáenz en sí es fascinante. Abandonando su posición como una de las mujeres más ricas de Lima, Sáenz trabajó clandestinamente con conspiradores para derrocar los representantes corruptos del reino español. Este camino eventualmente la llevó a conocer a Bolívar en 1822, cuando ella tenía veinticinco años. La atracción fue inmediata y por ocho años fueron amantes, hasta la muerte de Bolívar. Durante esta época turbulenta, Manuela luchó en varias batallas, consiguiendo el rango de coronel, y fue eventualmente encarcelada, herida y por último desterrada de por vida de Colombia y Ecuador.Nuestras Vidas Son los Ríos dramatiza la lucha de Suramérica por su independencia no solo desde el punto de vista de Sáenz, si no también desde la mirada de otras dos mujeres excepcionales: Natán y Jonotás, las esclavas de Sáenz. Con este paso audaz, Manrique muestra diferentes (y a veces encontradas) versiones de Bolívar, de Manuela y de las consecuencias importantes del movimiento de independencia--no solo para los descendientes españoles, si no también para los esclavos y para la enorme población indígena de los Andes.Esta novela ejemplar de Manrique revela a Manuela Sáenz como una mujer única y brillante a quien lectores modernos encontrarán imposible de olvidar.…
